In the past few days, Denmark Queen Margaret deprived of four grandchildren of titles has caused a lot of controversy. He expressed anger at the previous post of Princess Wen Yali . The two older grandsons Nikola and Felix expressed sadness. The second prince Yorkum even hinted that it would affect his relationship with his mother!
The only thing that is fine is the Queen of Denmark. She responded to this operation without any pain: the decision to deprive relatives of the title was inspired by other European royals - including her late cousin Elizabeth II Queen.
The streamlining of the European royal family began at the end of 2018. A year before Brexit, when Sweden King Carl XVI Gustav used his annual Christmas speech to explain why he chose to strip his five grandsons of the royal title.
i.e. his daughter Princess Madeleine, son Prince Carl Philip children will lose their HRH status - only Crown Prince Princess Victoria and her children retain their titles.
In Netherlands , King William Alexander has cut the number of incumbent royals to only five and has cut the number of his palaces, staff, limousines and in-service heirs. Even his brothers, Prince Constantine and his wife, Laurentian Faye Wong, worked full-time, but did not receive constitutional allowances from the royal family.
Although streamlining the number of royal personnel is an irreversible trend for the European royal family. But the one-size-fits-all approach like Queen Margaret, which is a direct one-size-fits-all approach that does not inform, deprive HRH, and does not retain the title of "Princess and Prince", has caused a lot of controversy.
Danish royal explains this that the queen's decision is "consistent with similar adjustments made by other royal families in various ways in recent years".
It can be said that her "stable, accurate and ruthless" approach may usher in the European royal revolution. Without this pressure, it immediately came to King Charles .
As we all know, Charles III King has been talking about the need to streamline Windsor Palace .
Some people noticed Queen Margaret's enthusiasm for Charles when she met at Buckingham Palace on the eve of the funeral of Queen Elizabeth . Some people speculated that the two were discussing streamlining the monarchy together.
Danish Queen Margaret saw Queen Elizabeth II's tough attitude towards Prince Andrew (he was stripped of all military titles and royal sponsorship).
In addition, the relationship between royal brothers is also undercurrent. Denmark's Crown Prince Frederick and his younger brother Yorkum are not in harmony. Charles did not like his two younger brothers Edward and Andrew. When Andrew was deprived of his title, William and Charles played an important role.
royal experts warn that Margaret 's move will put pressure on Charles to speed up his plans - including a quick decision on the future of Harry and Meghan and whether Archie and Lily Bette should become HRH.
In order to save the monarchy from criticism, Charles does need to reduce the number of people. His biggest test is Harry and Meghan, which really threatens his rule.
The problem with the Sussex couple is that their financial survival depends on attacking the royal family in their published autobiography and their Netflix series. In the face of this, Charles' best strategy is to threaten them and cancel their titles if they are unfaithful.
Charles is indeed moving in this direction, putting their ranking on the royal website at the end, and his two children, Lily Bette and Archie, did not award His Highness the title, etc., are all warnings to the two.
Now some British people put pressure on Charles. A former British MP said, "Charles said he wanted to streamline the monarchy, but it had to be real, not just superficial. He had to lower the cost of taxpayers. It only takes him, Camilla, William and Kate and their children.The rest of them should retire at the age, and the younger ones should go out to make a living”
The need to streamline the bloated British royal family has been obvious for decades, and as other European monarchies such as Denmark have been streamlined to adapt to the 21st century, this need will only become clearer.
If Charles had only had this idea before, but with the "one-size-fits-all" of the Queen of Denmark, Charles' idea of streamlining the royal family has become an arrow on the string and has to be sent!
